Red Hat Security Advisory: Red Hat OpenStack Platform 16.2 security advisory

Important

A flaw was found in the net/url package in the Go standard library. The package does not enforce a limit on the number of unique query parameters it parses. A Go application using the net/http.Request.ParseForm method will try to process all parameters provided in the request. A specially crafted HTTP request containing a massive number of query parameters will cause the application to consume an excessive amount of memory, eventually causing the application to crash or become unresponsive, resulting in a denial of service.

CWE-770 - Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

A flaw was found in golang. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by providing a specially crafted certificate during the error string construction process within the `HostnameError.Error()` function. This flaw, caused by unbounded string concatenation, leads to excessive resource consumption. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service (DoS) for the affected system.

CWE-1050 - Excessive Platform Resource Consumption within a Loop

A flaw was found in OpenStack Keystone. This vulnerability allows an attacker to obtain a valid OpenStack's Keystone token, leading to access to unauthorized resources or privilege escalation within the OpenStack instance via sending a valid AWS (Amazon Web Services) signature to the /v3/ec2tokens or /v3/s3tokens API (Application Programming Interface) endpoints.

CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

A flaw was found in the crypto/tls component. This vulnerability occurs during Transport Layer Security (TLS) session resumption when certificate authority (CA) settings are modified between the initial and resumed handshakes. An attacker could exploit this to bypass certificate validation, allowing a client or server to establish a connection that should have been rejected. This could lead to an authentication bypass under specific conditions.

A flaw was found in pyasn1, a generic ASN.1 library for Python. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted RELATIVE-OID with excessive continuation octets. This input validation vulnerability leads to memory exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
